Shabbat

Why I'm letting go of the future and recommitting to the here and now.

Freedom requires us to know what we are for, what we will do with our freedom, and how that will impact others.

Even though most Jews live in democracies, they continue to pray for their leaders -- not the people who elect them.

We can escape neither our accidents nor our fates.

The most universalist of Jewish holidays, Sukkot is the celebratory coda of Judaism's annual initiation rites.

More than anything else this year, I want permission to pray for peace.

Jewish tradition places its celebration of the new year at a precarious moment in the calendar.

In this season of forgiveness, let us not only name our shortcomings but amplify our virtues.

How do we let our hearts dance when they’re still so heavy? 

Each of us is a miniature sanctuary.

If a Jell-O shot is made from kosher wine, can it be used for Kiddush on Shabbat?

What if the central narrative of the Jewish people had been different?
